french for "handjob"

Branlette (general term, applies also to self-operation)
Manivelle annamite
Rabotage artisanal
Arrache-copeau menuisière
Service minimum
Style sainte-Nitouche
Plus hundreds of other terms, generally either hapaxes or of limited
circulation (idiolects, circle slang, etc.) but almost always
immediately intelligible.

Yes, there is one , onanisme = masturbation, but it's not slang,and to
me, it's not exactly the name of the operation, but more the name of the
habit.

This kind of word is fascinating; they seem to be re-invented as slang
in each generation, after being damned and forbidden by respectable
elders. The words for blowjob in this part of the Philippines are,
currently: saki-saki, lollipop (pr lô-li-pap) and umm-umm.
Can't imagine what a branlette espagnole is, but it's probably
verbalising a perversion of some kind - see 'manivelle
annamite' (Vietnamese handling?) in an earlier message - ie 'lesser
people' do things we (respectable elders) have forgotten we ever did.

I don't think it always exclusively applies to the habit only: You'll
see phrases like: "en flagrant délit d'onanisme" and the like.

In some other cultures perhaps. I can't see anything damned or
forbidden about it, at least in European French-speaking populations
(except their being slang, of course, but used by all including the
respectable elders).

Absolutely - English (and American more so) are very much (too much)
prim and proper.
I still remember an old French lady telling me a joke that included an
English pun:

Not an insect stirred
Not a bird stirred

In Norwegian the phrase '(ta) en spansk en' "(take, here: ~do) a Spanish
one", originally seaman's slang for that speciality, has become an
everyday idiom for a quick and dirty pretend-solution.
Boss: "Do you have the details I told the client you'd bring today?"
Employee: "I haven't even started. I'll _do a Spanish one_ and blame the
supplier for not giving feesdback."
Boss: "Right, we'll just have to play by ear in the meeting."

Kinda like "close enough for government work."
It's "play it by ear" -- do you have it intransitive in Norse?

As far as I know,
the noun "branlette" applies to "manual excitation of male organs"
The noun has a fairly sympathic connotation
and may describe a useless occupational work,
such as "branlette intellectuelle" = useless intellectual activity
in that case it is synonymous with "enculer les mouches" = to *ssf*ck
flies"
the verb "branler" (transitive) applies to the process whereby the
above-described excitation is achieved.
It used to mean "to shake, to rock" but it is now impossible to use
because of modern meaning,
This verb is highly vulgar and offensive,
Especially : "on s'en branle" = "we don't care a f**k"
the noun "onanisme" sounds definitely like a catholic description and
condemnation.
I think most French people will fail to understand what "onanisme"
means.
I have NEVER heard this word pronounced a single time,
What makes you so interested in this part of French vocabulary ?

Nah. I thought that was unambiguous but it isn't. Here are some Spanish
ones:
- A thin white lie that will be revealed but just might buy you some
time to solve the crisis first (like the above).
- Adding oil to the salat to hide that you sneezed.
- Double-parking with the engine on in front of a hospital's entrance to
pick up a suit at the dry-cleaner's across the street.
- Subsitution of regular primer for fire paint in the spots no-one is
going to check when you run out of the good stuff.
> It's "play it by ear" -- do you have it intransitive in Norse?
Well. I thought in broken English, not in Norwegian. I think it felt
like "play by ear" would cover the whole situation, whatever they'll
meet, while "play it by ear" would refer to some particular subject at hand.
There are several expressions that might translate 'play it by the ear'.
'Spille på gehør' is a word by word correspondent, except that it's
usually intransitive, but not as frequent as a metaphor as its English
counterpart. I might have had it in mind while writing the above,
though. 'Ta det på gefylen' is another option. That's the usual metaphor
(and transitive), so usual that it hardly tells anything of the actual
abilities to play anything by the ear. Both 'gehør' and 'gefyl' are
music expressions and German loans. Other options are 'føle seg fram'
"feel one's way", 'bruke nesa' "use one's nose", and many more

Contrary to the usual sandwich naming conventions, the tits are not
the meat in this one. They metaphorically replace the slices of bread
and are used to the purpose of performing the branlette as per the
operation's name.

The conversation has veered off into "masturbation," but is there a
French equivalent of "handjob" as in "manual stimulation of male
genitalia by another person (not by the man himself)"?
Marc
mb
It won't because "branlette" will only evoke the self-serve job (not
what you go in this kind of establishments for), while the other terms
are all ad hoc.
On the other hand, judging by the vast ponentophilic bullshit that one
sees in Japanese brand and model names and its unquestioned acceptance
in the barbarian West, any stupid, vaguely pseudo-French-sounding word
would be highly plausible.

If you are not aware of that :
- onna : (japanese) woman, female
vaguely sounds like onan-ism
As far as I know,
English is highly differentiated
but French has only generic words for what you are interested in
that do not specify who does what to who using what.
Maybe there exists a prostitute slang more differentiated
but it's not standard French.

So that his deceased brother would have an heir who'd care for the
mother (if the birth came about within nine months of Onan's brother
passing, there would be reasonable doubt of whose the child was, and by
default the deceased brother would be considered the father). Whereas
with no heir, Onan would inherit everything. His motivation was really a
lot more mundane than might be thought!

supposed to have holed up with his daughters after the destruction of
Sodom and Gomorrah. One of his daughters is supposed to have got him
drunk, then mated with him , and produced two sons, Moab and Ammon -
two ancient nations of what is now Jordan. Mind you, Lot had already
offered his two daughters to the Sodomites, (Gen (19:8)) but they were
not at all interested. Maybe they (the daughters) were very ugly
indeed, and their father was the last hope - his wife had already been
turned into a pillar of salt by being sentimental, and looking back or
maybe they (the Sodomites, really were.).
This is interesting enough (the story was supposed to have actually
happened post 2000BC, because Lot was Abraham's nephew). But what was
more interesting to me was that the archaeologists digging the site
had dug down to around a 3000BC level, where they were actually
digging a grave as I watched.
I was genuinely shocked that Lot had not only committed incest, but
done it on top of a grave.

(a) If there actually was a real person "Lot" who actually did what
the story says, at that particular spot, how would he have known there
was a burial there a millennium and more earlier?
(b) archeologists don't generally put absolute dates on _anything_
barring dated inscriptional evidence. Those levels at that site might
have been called "EB" (Early Bronze) or even earlier.

It does seem that local myths of founding fathers, etc, have some
basis in reality, even if someone (much later) hasn't written them
down.
There's a nice story (forget where I found it) of a Nigerian tribe who
relied on remembered genealogies to sort out tribal property disputes
in the present. So the early colonial authorities (Brits) wrote them
down, as the basis of a legal system. But that ran into problems.
The major one was that to keep the genealogies to a reasonable,
rememberable size, you had to keep the 'mythical' founder, but just
elide a few generations between him and now. Because the bloody Brits
wrote the old genealogies down, you couldn't agreeably do that any
more, so it caused far more property disputes than the traditional,
mutually agreed, system had caused.
I have absolutely no doubt that the written-down Biblical genealogies
follow the same pattern, and that's why you get Methuselah living to
an impossible age.
I had a good friend in Jordan, named Samir Khaldaneh, a Palestinian.
He explained to me that his surname came from the same source as
Abraham's; Ur of the Chaldees. (He was probably quite wrong - maybe it
came from the Chaldean branch of Christianity).
But meanwhile. it's nice to think that dear old drunken Lot created
two new nations by being seduced by his daughters. It did, after all,
enable the Hebrews to slur them as being founded by a couple of sluts
from a drunken father, so very inferior, at least, in inherited moral
character. The Moabites and Edomites have left no written-down fables,
composed perhaps a millenium or two later, so we'll never know their
side of the picture.

Of course they don't - they can't put exact dates on anything unless
it's written down, but they have enough methods to give most findings
a 'ball-park' date span. The problems occur with dodgy carbon-dating,
or assuming that stylistic or technical factors define a specific date
range.

I once bought, from a New Zealander, a slab of stone that he said,
proved that the traditional Mt Sinai wasn't in the Egyptian Sinai area
at all, but very near Jebel Haroun (now in Jordan, by Petra, where
Aaron, Moses' brother, is supposed to have been buried).
It must be absolutely genuine, because the stone fragment has "Thou
shalt no..." carved on it, perfectly reflecting the King James Bible

That's why I called it "late Magdalenian". Don't tell me nothing
recognizable can be *that* late (27,000 years). As we all know
with Magdalenian, absolutely anything is possible,
in fact it's very likely.

Of course Magdalenians had pictograms for Zero.
There are many blank rock faces in Lascaux. They convey
powerful messages like
"Today we again saw *zero* giraffes, and killed *zero* pigs", and
"Therefore, tonight we again have *zero* ribs for dinner", and
"And get *zero* cuddles as the reward from our women", and
"We are hungry, just as well the *zeroes* are so easy to carve".

That referred to "Enrico Ramstein"'s "a millennium or more before" the
putative time of Lot.

Too many cartoons. Everyone knows the hunter-gatherer way of life was
easier than the agri-pastoralist way of life!

I think one's just dirtier.
